My SS-Dienstdolch Modell 1936

[BROCKY]

My ss dagger

she's a bit salty. i cant see the details very well due to rust and pic's but it looks to be a type 1 because of the link holes. one thing that caught my eye and bug's me, is the top connector links on the chain where it connects to the knot. i would have thought the links would be taperd a bit on the knot side because of the rounded hole. and not as it shows. but i have been wrong before.

I have an SS dagger that my grandfather brought home from the war and it has the same type of chain link.

The chain is a type 1 chain if you look inside the upper clover leaf you will see the letters DRGM inside,, this designates a type 1 chain and the connectors are correct for this type chain. The tapered connector links that Andrew has commented on are Type 2 design and no DRGM in side the clover leaf with a shallow depth. Tom Wittmanns SS book is a great reference on the subject.. Larry

Angus has started another thread about this dagger: sadly it has an SA gruppe marked lower crossguard which is not apparent here.
